Common use of Points of Interconnection Clause in Contracts

Points of Interconnection. 2.1. Physical Point of Interconnection. CLEC must establish a minimum of one Physical POI within in each LATA, at any technically feasible point, on Sprint’s network. 58.2.1.1. CLEC will be responsible for engineering and maintaining its network on its side of the Physical POI. Sprint will be responsible for engineering and maintaining its network on its side of the Physical POI. Sprint reserves the right to provide its own transport to CLEC’s network for the delivery of Sprint originated traffic as provided for herein. 58.2.1.2. For construction of new facilities when the Parties choose to interconnect at a mid-span meet, CLEC and Sprint will jointly provision the facilities that connect the two networks. Sprint will be the “controlling carrier” for purposes of MECOD guidelines, as described in the joint implementation plan. Sprint will provide fifty percent (50%) of the facilities or to its exchange boundary, whichever is less. The construction of new facilities for a mid-span meet is only applicable when traffic is roughly balanced. 58.2.1.3. If third party (i.e. Competitive Access Provider or “CAP”) leased facilities are used for interconnection, the Physical POI will be defined as the Sprint office in which the third party’s leased circuit terminates.
